Nah, I think it's more like if the doctor (who isn't going to get paid to help you) gives you negligent care, you're not going to be able to sue him.
In this case, I don't know just by reading the article whether or not the hospital is even going to be in trouble. The standard of care for a facility of this type is going to be really, really low. As a matter of law, this woman's estate might have no case as crazy as it seems.
